What to Wear by Erin: Wedding Season

So you're not a bridesmaid…What the heck do you wear now?Here are some Do’s and Don’ts on what to wear when invited to a wedding.

Don't wear white because it competes with the bride. It’s her day to shine; you can surely find another color to wear.

Don’t worry about wearing the same colors as the bridesmaids or mothers.

Don’t wear something overly sexy, such as club wear or anything see through. Also, try and stay clear of minis and too much cleavage.

Do pay close attention to the style of invitation, if the invitation does not say the formality of the event you can usually tell how formal to dress by the style of the invitation and by the location listed. A simple floral sun dress in a bright color may be appropriate for a day time outdoor wedding or a little black dress is appropriate for any event after 6 p.m.
